Hi KS,

directly its may not be possible,... but requirement is that i have a data1 field which is 4 bytes aand was getting mapped to 2 bytes..

wherein we were always getting 0-99 nos but suddenly we r expected to get 0-999 numbers so when it gets mapped to 2 bytes we will be loosing all values more than 99...

so i need to develop an algorithm .. ex something like convering into dexa decimal and then again decoding..

exp 100 can be mapped as AA or XX or HF etc and decode again.

Thanks,
Vas

hy buddy,

define your pic 9(04) usage display to pic s9(04) usage binary,
then the field is only 2 bytes long and fits into pic x(02).
how you identify, if this value is more than 100, for this
you must do your own logic...
